Doomsday Prepping Checklist

Many emergency preparedness enthusiasts prefer DIY survival gear over pre-packaged disaster kits. This option can be more expensive, but it also allows for personal quality checking and customization. If you are a do-it-yourself prepper, here is a doomsday prepping checklist to make sure you have things covered. Stock at least three days worth of prepping supplies per person, though 15 days is recommended.

Buy Survival Food Supplies

Multi – Purpose Survival Shovel

Matches in waterproof container

Charcoal (20 lbs. per person) and a charcoal lighter (store charcoal and lighter in waterproof container)

Camp stove and fuel, grill or fire pit (you can make your own fire pit by digging a hole, lining with foil and cooking on an oven grate)

Soap. An antibacterial liquid surgical scrub like Betadine
is recommended. It would also be a good idea to have a supply of waterless hand santitizer and wipes in case water is extremely scarce after the quake. (Ex. Purell and Wet Ones)

These items should be pre-packed and ready to move at a moment’s notice. Do not wait until a disaster strikes to pack survival clothing.

Make Survival Kits for Cars

Your car should be packed with a smaller-sized survival kit in addition to the emergency items that you should already have in there, such as a battery charger, tow chain, etc. Keep in mind these items are subject to temperature extremes.

Shoes with heavy soles and work gloves

Clothing for rain and cold weather

Purchase a flashlight, spare batteries, matches, small first-aid kit

Full canteen, water purification drops or tablets, possible bottled water or juice

Spare eyeglasses or contact lenses

Note paper, ball-point pen, tape
